Hijama Cupping Therapy and Its Uses

Know About Hijama

The term Hijama was originated from the word “Al-Hajm” which means sucking. Even though, the name is known from the ancient period itself cupping is the new buzzword with which is it is called by nowadays.

The traditional method of treatment practised among the Arab culture use cups that are placed on the surface of the body to create a vacuum with the help of suction or heat which draws up skin, tissues and muscles into the cups. The negative pressure generated will help increase the blood flow, flush out toxins and clear removal of wastes from within the body.

The cups are then moved from one part of the body to another and have a dissimilar action to that of massaging as cupping pulls up tissues and muscles from inside out rather than pressing them. The therapy can be used to increase the movements of body fluids like lymph fluid, removal of poison etc and restore muscles, fascia, skin and other deeper organs into the normal state.
